2018 Convertible Note Offering

 

On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two unaffiliated institutional and accredited investors for a private placement (the "2018 Note Offering") of up to $10.75 million in principal amount and $10 million funding amount (reflecting $0.75 million of original issue discount) of Senior Convertible Notes (the "2018 Notes"), and Series Q Warrants to purchase 9,126,984 shares of Class A Common Stock. On April 9, 2018, see Note 13, Subsequent Events, the Company closed the 2018 Note Offering. The 2018 Note Offering may result in gross proceeds of $10.0 million, before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction. At the closing on April 9, 2018, the Company received $5 million of the gross proceeds and two secured promissory notes from each investor, in a combined aggregate amount of $5 million (each, an “Investor Note”), secured by cash and/or securities held in investor accounts.

 

The Company issued two Series A senior convertible notes (the “Series A Notes”) and two Series B senior secured convertible notes (the “Series B Notes”) in the transaction. The aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes is $5.75 million and the Series B Notes is $5 million. All of the aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes will constitute Restricted Principal (as defined in the Series B Notes). If an investor prepays any amount under such investor’s Investor Note, an equal amount of the Restricted Principal becomes unrestricted principal under such investor’s Series B Note. In lieu of initially receiving any original issue discount on the Series B Notes, the Series B Notes will accrue an “Additional OID Amount” (as defined in the Series B Notes) based upon the portion of the principal of the Series B Notes that becomes unrestricted from time to time, pro rata, which, in the aggregate would result in up to $0.75 million of Additional OID Amount payable under the Series B Notes if all of the principal under the Series B Notes becomes unrestricted.

 

The Company will not be required to amortize the 2018 Notes. All amounts owed under the 2018 Notes will mature and come due on April 9, 2019.

 

The 2018 Notes do not incur interest other than upon the occurrence of an event of default, in which case the 2018 Notes bear interest at 18% per year.

 

The 2018 Notes are convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price. The initial fixed conversion price is $1.26 per share (which was above the closing bid price of our Class A common stock immediately before executing the Securities Purchase Agreement; the conversion price was increased from $1.2405 to $1.26 in the Amendments (as defined and further described in Note 13, Subsequent Events)), subject to reduction under certain circumstances as well as adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events.

  

The Securities Purchase Agreement requires the Company to hold a shareholders’ meeting before June 30, 2018 to seek approval of the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the 2018 Notes and exercise of the Series Q Warrants at conversion and exercise prices below the market price of its Class A common stock at the time of entering into the Securities Purchase Agreement, in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts such shareholder approval is not obtained at such shareholders’ meeting, the Company is obligated to hold recurring shareholders’ meeting until such shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such shareholder approval.

 

If the Company receives such shareholder approval, the conversion price of the 2018 Notes and exercise price of the Series Q Warrants would be subject to potential reduction and resets in the future, for example, upon the future issuance of securities (e.g. full-ratchet anti-dilution protection) and the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if the Company receives such shareholder approval, following an event of default, holders of 2018 Note would be permitted to convert their 2018 Notes at an “Alternate Conversion Price” and at a 125% premium in an “Alternate Conversions” (each term, as defined in the 2018 Notes). The Company may at any time, subject to Nasdaq’s approval and with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the conversion price of the 2018 Notes and exercise price of the Series Q Warrants to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by its board of directors after obtaining such shareholder approval. Some of the provisions providing for reduction and reset of the conversion price of the 2018 Notes and exercise price of the Series Q Warrants are subject to a floor price, such that the adjusted conversion price or exercise price, as applicable, can never be below $0.194.

 

The Company will have the right to require mandatory conversion of the 2018 Notes if the volume-weighted average price of its Class A common stock for 10 consecutive trading days exceeds 200% of the conversion price, subject to certain “Equity Conditions” (as defined in the 2018 Notes). One of the equity conditions is that the Company has obtained the shareholder approval discussed above. The Company also has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, 2018 Notes for cash at 120% or 125% (depending on when it occurs) of the amount outstanding, subject to certain Equity Conditions. A holder of a 2018 Note may require use to redeem such note for cash at a 125% premium in connection with a transaction that results in a “Change of Control” (as defined in the 2018 Notes) and upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

The terms of the 2018 Notes prohibits the Company from entering into a “fundamental transaction” (as defined in the 2018 Notes) unless the successor entity, which must be a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined in the 2018 Notes), assumes all of the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Notes and the other transaction documents in a written agreement approved by each 2018 Note holder. The definition of “fundamental transactions” includes, but is not limited to, mergers, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, certain tender offers and other transactions that result in a change of control.

 

The 2018 Notes contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which triggers default interest and causes a failure of Equity Conditions, which may mean that the Company will be unable to force mandatory conversion of the 2018 Notes and that investors may not be required to prepay the Investor Notes under a mandatory prepayment event.

 

The 2018 Notes contain negative and affirmative covenants, including a requirement that the Company on a quarterly basis has available cash of at least $0.75 million.

 

Each investor may voluntarily prepay such investor’s Investor Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty at any time. The Investor Notes are also subject to mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of (i) conversion of Restricted Principal under an investor’s Series B Note, and (ii) on the 45th day after the earlier to occur of (A) the first date on which the SEC declares effective one or more registration statements registering the resale of the shares of Class A common stock underlying the 2018 Notes and the Series Q Warrants, and (B) the first date on which all of such shares of Class A common stock are eligible to be resold by the holders pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to (1) certain Equity Conditions, (2) a requirement that the average volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock exceed a specified amount, and (3) that no event of default is then existing and continuing.

 

At the closing of the 2018 Note Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchaser of the 2018 Notes under which it is required to file an initial registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of Class A common stock issuable pursuant to the 2018 Notes and the Series Q Warrants and to use the Company’s reasonable best efforts to have that initial registration statement declared effective within specified deadlines. The Company will be subject to certain monetary penalties, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, if it fails to meet specified filing deadlines, effectiveness deadlines, maintenance requirements, and/or current public information requirements under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company filed the required registration statement with the SEC on April 27, 2018, and the SEC declared the registration statement effective on May 4, 2018.
